The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

The military vehicle took Dunn and Prokowski to a three-story building in the suburbs.

Dunn and Prokowski were assigned a room respectively. Dunn noticed that there were people in many rooms in the building, but their movements were greatly restricted.

You can only come out to eat at mealtimes. You must stay in your room at other times and are not allowed to come out except to go to the toilet.

After all, it was a secret mission, so Dunn was mentally prepared. At the same time, Dunn was also carefully observing the current situation.

During the five days, I communicated with the people around me during meal times and got to know each other. Most of the people gathered together were fluent in Russian, and even those who did not speak Russian were mostly Slavic immigrants.

Dunn, a Latino, stands out among them.

We stayed in the building for about another 5 days. During these 5 days, many more people came one after another until the rooms in the entire 3-story building were almost full of people. It was not until the morning of the 6th day that everyone was gathered in the yard.

The bearded officer who picked up Dunn and Bulukski walked up to the crowd.

"I guess you all already knew more or less about this mission before you came here!"

The bearded officer cleared his throat and spoke to everyone.

At this time, Dunn, who was at the back of the team, also observed everyone. Although he had a rough idea of ​​the number of people gathered together through the meal times of the past few days, because most of the meal times were eaten in batches, not everyone would be gathered together to eat.

Dunn had never been able to come up with an accurate number of people, but now he could see clearly that there were probably about 25 people gathered together, not counting the bearded officer who was giving a speech in front of the crowd.

"I am the commander of this operation, Lieutenant Paul Weiss. We will be together for a long time in the future and face this difficult mission together..."

It has to be said that the speech by the bearded officer, Weiss, was quite inflammatory. At least from what Dunn saw, everyone's emotions were aroused.

People like Dunn who were not interested in the speech also sat quietly and did not show any impatience.

This actually surprised Dunn. You know, the quality of the soldiers in the United States is not very high.

If it was a superior who they worked with day and night, they might give him a little face, but with so many people gathered together temporarily, if they felt impatient, some troublemakers might embarrass the superior on the spot.

But this time, those who were called to participate in the action, even if they were not interested in the speech of the bearded center back Paul, listened patiently.

This shows that the people participating in the operation this time were also carefully selected.

At least there is no doubt about their obedience, which is not easy. You have to know that the United States joined World War II relatively late.

Although many great battles were fought in the Pacific and European battlefields, the overall quality of the soldiers was not high, and most of those who joined the army were unable to survive at the bottom of the society.

This problem has not been solved until the future. Even after 2000, the reputation of the U.S. military stationed abroad has not been very good.

"In the next period of time, we will conduct some special training. Time is very urgent. We only have three days. I hope everyone can actively cooperate. If anyone fails the training this time, then I can only say sorry. I can't take you with me on this operation!

Don’t think that you can just go back after being eliminated, because this mission is special. Even if you are eliminated, you have to stay here, like being in prison, until our operation is over!"

When the bearded officer Paul Weiss said this, it should be said that he had gone too far. In Lia, a beacon that advocates freedom, restricting freedom is an extremely serious matter. If this kind of thing is said in person, it is likely to cause an uproar, but there was no emotional fluctuation at the scene, at least on the surface.

Everyone was still sitting there quietly waiting for the bearded officer's next move.

This made Dunn a little disappointed. If someone dared to lead a trouble at this time, then Dunn would dare to fan the flames. It was a pity that the people present did not give him such an opportunity.

The following arrangements were beyond Dunn's expectations.

Dunn felt that since it was a secret undercover mission, he would have to receive some training in agent skills.

But the training arranged this time was - herding, which means herding in the literal sense.

The 25 people were divided into 5 groups, and each group of 5 people began to learn the basic life skills and training of herders, including a series of skills related to herding cattle and horses and camping in the wild.

But after a little thought, Dunn understood. It seemed that the U.S. military had made careful arrangements for this operation. They should sneak into the Central Asian grasslands as herdsmen to find the nuclear test base of the Red Empire.

Moreover, the grouping of personnel this time was obviously carefully prepared. A team leader was selected for each group, and most of the team leaders were officers or soldiers who had herding experience in the Midwest of the United States.

However, just because Dunn understood it didn't mean that everyone could understand this training arrangement.

"I really don't understand, what's the point of us learning these things?"

Prokowski, who was in the same group as Dunn, was now complaining quietly.

Most of the dissatisfied people, like Pluksky, complain quietly, and no one dares to speak out loudly.

"Shut up, Pavel!"

Dunn said to Prukowski as he practiced checking the tents used by the herders.

"If you use your brain, you should know why we are conducting this training. If the Red Empire wants to conduct a nuclear test, which areas are the most suitable?"

Dunn only gave Pluckski a brief reminder, and the boy immediately figured it out.

"You mean to say that our destination this time is likely to be the steppes of Central Asia?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention here, Prokowski asked in a low voice.

"if not?"

At this time, Dunn had already set up the tent and spread his hands to Brookski.

Although the tents used by herdsmen are somewhat different from ordinary marching tents, the general principles are similar, so this kind of training is still child's play for these military elites.

"I thought we would go deep into Siberia or the Far East this time!"

Prokowski muttered quietly.

"Those places are suitable, but the conditions are too harsh. The long-term coverage of ice and snow should have some impact on nuclear testing!"

At this time, Dunn and Brooke had stepped aside, waiting for the team leader to check the tent they had set up.

Dunn didn't know much about the site selection of the Red Empire's nuclear test site and could only express his own thoughts.

"Besides, Pavel! Do you really want to go to Siberia and freeze?"

In fact, it is almost June, and the winter in Siberia is basically over. The temperature is also warming up. The environment in Siberia during this period should not be so bad. At least as long as you don’t get too close to the Arctic Circle, it will definitely not be as icy and snowy as you imagine.

But Dunn didn't want to discuss this kind of geographical common sense with Prokowski.

"Well, that's true!"

Prukowski nodded and said.
